Of course, the paper company didn't want to harm anyone, so they didn't just pick anyone to try.
Even if Mao Lilan no longer plays a role in the original plot, she is still a character with many scenes. So if fate cannot be changed, it is highly likely that nothing will happen.
Otherwise, many of Conan's later situations will not be unlocked.
"Phew, that's great. I was really worried when I heard you might be writing something in preparation for your amnesia."
"Hmm? I didn't... Oh, Conan, right?"
Zhixing reacted quickly, then turned his back to the moonlight outside the window, looked at Xiaolan and said:
"Conan's reasoning ability isn't strong enough right now. He needs some growth. Once he grows up, I might need him to help me with some advice."
"But before that, tell me what you want to talk to me about."
To put things one way or another, Zhixing still remembered that he had made preparations at the Maori family two days ago on the condition that you help me and I help you. Although it took two days for Xiaolan, it was probably less than an hour for Zhixing.
"No, I wasn't of any help. You disappeared right in front of us. I didn't do anything."
"Even if it's just to eliminate a wrong guess, it's still helpful. By the way, did the things on my body disappear as well? Was there any hair on the floor? Will it disappear after leaving the body?"
Zhixing still remembers that he and Xiaolan had direct contact without any clothes blocking them.
But now, except for himself, his clothes and even the note inside his clothes are all intact, but he cannot drag other people into that space together. Zhixing can only get the answer indirectly from other trustworthy people.
"The clothes disappeared along with them. It's more like the person was gone in the blink of an eye."
"If the note wasn't still there, and if it hadn't contained your message, we might have suspected we were hallucinating."
"Ah, by the way, it's quite late now. Kamijou-san probably needs some rest. I've prepared a room for you."
Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something bad and abruptly changed the subject. She took the paper and left the office on the second floor and walked into a guest room on the third floor.
"Could you come to our school after school this afternoon? I have something I want to discuss with Mr. Kamijou then."
"Sure, no need to beat around the bush, just tell me directly. Draw a map of the address first. I don't know the words here, so just tell me how to get there from here."
"Okay, I'll go get ready."
After saying that, Xiaolan ran back to her room and started tinkering with the map to school.
Zhihang pushed open the door, turned on the light and looked around.
"It is indeed a room that can be lived in. And unlike what I expected, this is not like the room that was left vacant after Mao Lilan's mother separated from her family. It is actually a guest room, and one was allocated to Conan."
"The Maori family is surprisingly wealthy, they can actually rent out two floors."
"Perhaps I've underestimated Maori Kogoro. He was a genius who was able to catch up with strong women like the undefeated lawyer back in the police academy. At most, his IQ for reasoning is a little low."
Zhihang waited in the room for a while and heard the sound of the door opening twice, but did not see anyone passing by the door.
After Xiaolan provided the route map to school and reminded him of the departure time, Zhixing closed the door, lay down on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
In the morning, Zhixing, who missed breakfast, met Maori Kogoro unexpectedly. The two had a conversation. After warning Xiaolan not to get into trouble, he acquiesced to Zhixing's temporary residence and did not kick Zhixing out of the office.
So Zhixing ate his cold breakfast and watched Kogoro watching TV in the office, and he stayed there until noon.
Although Zhihang knew that detectives should not be too busy, otherwise they would not have the time to track and find people.
But while staying in the office, Zhixing still missed the daily life in "Magic Circle". At least he could use his mobile phone to watch the anime to kill time.
Soon, after eating the lunch box that Xiaolan had specially left for them at noon, it was time to set off without anything happening.
Since it was his first time leaving, Zhixing got up and left the office an hour in advance and walked all the way to Mitaki...the gate of Teitan High School.
"It's worthy of being a high school, right? The security isn't as strict as it is in a junior high school, even though I'm only less than three years older."
Zhixing saw that the security guard just glanced at him. Seeing that he had no intention of entering the school, he did not come out to check the situation, and just let Zhixing stand at the school gate and look at the teaching building inside.
For a moment, Zhixing felt as if he was back in his childhood, waiting at the school gate before it opened in order not to be late.
The paper industry hasn't experienced that kind of thing in nearly ten years.
After all, the dormitory has been a student dormitory since high school, so there is no need to wait at the school gate.
"Then who could be looking for me?"
Zhixing could see that Xiaolan had listened to what he and he had said when they first met, and she had not questioned it at the moment.
That way, the only people who will need you are the ones who want to get in touch with you.
"It's a new thing that symbolizes love. Are you trying to use my identity as a future person?"
"Or is it the saintly heart that symbolizes kindness, still determined to get me to hand over the method to prevent the victim's death?"
"Or is he just a tool for contact? But who would contact me through Xiaolan? Could it be that high school detective? But the timing is wrong."
Standing outside the school, in order to avoid any problems with his on-the-spot performance again, Zhixing decided to use the time he had arrived early to prepare himself.
"I've already told Xiaolan that Conan might be a clone of Shinichi, so the fact that they have the same blood type and look similar should be enough to fool people. So, without suspecting Conan, are you looking for Shinichi's whereabouts?"
"No, if you really believe what I said, then Shinichi has already been taken away by the Future Agency. There is no possibility of finding him. There is not even a target like Gin to make Xiaolan hesitate."
"Wait a minute, if Xiaolan really believed what I said, then would she have found a mysticism enthusiast like the witch that every school has?"
"Even if she's not as genuine as Koizumi Hongzi, at least she knows the names of many different sects, right?"
"Hiss~ In that case, it means that my lie was exposed due to Xiaolan's good luck."
Zhixing looked at Teitan High School and couldn't help but hesitate.
As a school that has students such as a young detective, a heiress from a consortium, a karate champion, etc., the possibility of a psychic or someone who understands this kind of knowledge emerging from it is extremely high.
Based on Jixing's knowledge of magic in "Magic Circle", she cannot apply it to the system in "A Certain Magical Index". After all, Jixing has only watched the animation and has not studied it at all.
Zhi Xing walked back and forth for a while, but finally settled down and did not choose to escape.
"Anyway, I'm set to be powerless, so it's normal that I don't know. I just need to be honest about my understanding of magic. At most, I can describe the situation of Koizumi Hongzi, the witch on the next set."
Zhi Xingan calmed down and perfected his wording in his mind, and soon the school bell rang.
Just at this moment, the bell interrupted his thoughts and he looked towards the school gate.
Suddenly I remembered something that I had ignored because it happened not long ago, but I had encountered it many times on the way here.
The translation capability is already at 2.0.
"Oh no, there weren't many people around at that time, and this is the direction leading to the school, so I didn't see many people on the road. Even if there were people, not everyone would be looking at me."
"But it's time to go home! They'll all be heading towards the school gate!"
The paper industry has responded quickly, but it can also be said that it responded too late.
Just as Zhixing was praying in his heart that the teacher would stay in class for a while, the students had already walked down from the teaching building one after another.
There were even a few fast runners who had already made eye contact with the paper line.
Where did this uncle come from?
Are you the parent of a student?
There was a man standing at the school gate.
He doesn't look like a rich man.
Zhixing wanted to escape from the school gate.
But after taking only two steps, I felt my feet were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Then it was as if I was back in my school days. I was clearly in class, but my mind was completely wandering, and I had no idea what my body was doing.
"No... This is not... noise... This is... forced... translation..."
As students came down from the teaching building, more and more eyes were focused on Zhixing, who wanted to escape but stopped moving and had a strange posture.
I am not smart enough to read ten lines at a glance. I have to read lines one by one. I feel that there are already 99+ pieces of information in my mind, but I have to translate them one by one, which seems to occupy my brain's CPU.
I knew... Kyubey's wish...had a fatal flaw...I never expected...he would die like this...
Simple and often repeated evaluations constantly refreshed Zhixing's consciousness, and Zhixing could only think intermittently.
I must...escape...from...this...sight...
Just when Zhixing felt that he was almost unable to think, in an instant, Zhixing felt that his whole body calmed down.
All the sounds just now disappeared, and only some information that was still being translated occupied Zhixing's attention.
"Hu~ha~hu~, is Xiaolan here?"
Zhixing supported his hands on his knees and gasped, then looked around in confusion.
But what caught the eye was not Xiaolan's body blocking other people's view. Some students even stopped to look at Zhixing because they were curious about Zhixing's performance art.
"What's going on? Is it another interruption for unknown reasons?"
Zhixing recovered and felt that the current situation was just as incomprehensible as how he could recover from the Witch's Kiss.
However, this question only appeared for two seconds before I understood it instantly.
"Look, it's safer to use the doll's body. Let me repair your body~"
"Little Bear?"
Hearing the word "doll", Zhixing instinctively wanted to do something useless and touch his neck with his hand.
But as soon as the hand was raised, Zhi Xing noticed it.
A few centimeters outside his hand, there seemed to be some transparent barrier. From time to time, a black light would pass by, revealing the existence of the barrier.
No, that's not a barrier!
Zhixing's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the group of high school students leaving school not far from him, his heart filled with the same thought.
"We must not allow the witch's barrier to unfold here!!"
His body, which had just felt heavy, was no longer disturbed by the translator, so he quickly took the first step to leave.
But Zhixing knew very well that he had no ability to run away, even if he was a street distance away from these students at the beginning. With his untrained physical fitness, it would take dozens of seconds for him to run 100 meters without any preparation. And even if he ran away, what about the people in the surrounding buildings?
Besides, it's not like Zhixing hasn't run away before. At the tram station, Zhixing tried to escape, but the seeds of sorrow that hadn't hatched yet at that time suddenly opened up, so Zhixing didn't even see the tram door open, let alone now that the witch has indeed awakened.
"Kamijo-san, we're here!"
Maybe Xiaolan was in a hurry to keep the appointment, or maybe she had just been stared at for too long.
Zhixing had not run away for a few seconds when a voice came from behind him, calling out a name.
Zhixing suddenly turned around and saw a girl among the many students with her hands cupped like a megaphone. When she saw Zhixing looking at her, she raised her hands to indicate where she was, and at the same time turned her head to the side, as if she was saying something to another student.
But at this time, Zhixing didn't even have the energy to tell who the other person was.
At this critical moment, Zhi Xing only had time to say:
"Little Bear, no! Let's talk about this!"
Chapter 163 Witch's Dinner
Zhixing stopped and began to force himself to communicate with the witch.
"Although I don't know what the world looks like from your perspective, can the current situation remain unchanged?"
"I have something to take care of right now. Can you please wait a bit? I mean, it's getting late. Do you want me to prepare dinner first? Call me when it's ready?"
Zhixing's mind was confused, and he couldn't find any words to talk to the witch bear for a moment. He just instinctively wanted to postpone the time for the witch to open the barrier.
Although it was high school dismissal time, the sky was very clear, and the light outside was exceptionally clear and bright.
But just after Zhixing finished speaking, the left side of his vision suddenly became dark, and something was faintly moving in the darkness.
Zhixing felt as if he was wearing VR glasses. On the right was a group of high school students leaving school in the sunny weather. Among them, Mao Lilan ran over as if she had sensed something was wrong.
The shadow on the left also obviously emitted slightly inferior light, exposing the witch's huge shadow area to the paper's field of vision.
[Are you hungry? Wait for me, I'll prepare it now. ]
Zhi Xing felt the split perspective on both sides, felt a little uncomfortable, and then instinctively closed his eyes, wanting to let his body recover.
But the view of Mao Lilan on the right was blocked as he closed his eyes, but the view on the left side never closed.
Was the witch there all along? I thought that dark space had brought me out of the witch's barrier, and that the witch had been wandering Conan's world ever since. Is that dark place forbidden for anyone to enter? Could I bring the witch with me?
Looking at Little Bear, it seems he's retained some consciousness. In that case, it couldn't be the remaining magic in his soul that formed a barrier to trap yesterday's prisoner. Was it the witch's own will? But if that were the case, why did she let him go then?
The more Zhixing wanted to think, the various voices around him forced his train of thought to be interrupted, and he was unable to come up with a logical chain that could convince himself.
Just at this moment, Xiaolan also ran in front of him.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
Zhixing watched Xiaolan approach with his right eye, but did not choose to move away.
